1) Message boards : BOINC client : boincmgr -n / --namehost CLI flag does not seem to work (solved) (Message 84920) Posted 27 Feb 2018 by naptimelabs Post: I'm attempting to use the command line flag for boincmgr to specify the IP of the client I wish to connect to. However it does not seem to function as intended, or I am missing something obvious. BOINC Manager is launched, but remains in a disconnected state, after which I can connect to the intended IP manually, defeating the purpose of using the CLI flag. User error on my part. What's more is that no connection information is provided by the --verbose flag, in fact, I have never seen the --verbose flag have any additional output whatsoever during a user session. *edit* I still find it interesting that --verbose is not behaving as expected.

2) Message boards : BOINC client : --get_old_tasks - not showing tasks from last 24 hours as stated? (Message 83654) Posted 6 Dec 2017 by naptimelabs Post: Great! Thanks for the confirmation and the assist. My last thought on the matter for the moment is that it would be handy if it used a sequence id like with messages and notices so that superfluous fetching of old_tasks can be eliminated.

3) Message boards : BOINC client : --get_old_tasks - not showing tasks from last 24 hours as stated? (Message 83622) Posted 6 Dec 2017 by naptimelabs Post: I would say that it's not a problem with boinccmd but perhaps with boinc-client, going straight into the GUI RPC with <get_old_results/> gives the same inaccurate results as is provided by boinccmd with --get_old_tasks

4) Message boards : BOINC client : --get_old_tasks - not showing tasks from last 24 hours as stated? (Message 83570) Posted 5 Dec 2017 by naptimelabs Post: Yes, there are other places from the worker's filesystem where the data I'm after resides, but I'm working with the XML RPC that things like the boincmgr and boinccmd use. The documentation for this particular feature seems to be at odds with it's actual functionality, and I am trying to figure out what the actual specifics are.

5) Message boards : BOINC client : --get_old_tasks - not showing tasks from last 24 hours as stated? (Message 83559) Posted 5 Dec 2017 by naptimelabs Post: According to the rpc documentation it's only an hour... get_old_results(vector<OLD_RESULT>) Get a list of results that have been completed in the last hour and have been reported to their project. (These results are not returned by get_results()). I had boinccmd tell me 24 hours and having it actually only be 1 hour?

6) Message boards : BOINC client : --get_old_tasks - not showing tasks from last 24 hours as stated? (Message 83558) Posted 5 Dec 2017 by naptimelabs Post: I can't find much documentation past defining what this is supposed to do in terms of fetching reported results from the last 24 hour time period. --get_old_tasks show reported tasks from last 24 hours But in my case, I seem to only be fetching the last few hours worth, nowhere near 24. Is there better documentation that may explain this? -- versions -- boinccmd --version boinccmd, built from BOINC 7.6.33 boinccmd --client_version Client version: 7.6.33
